girls of Lyndon at q time when that
town had many queens. She was the
second daughter of Ephraim Chamber
lin, senior. Nearly fifty years ago she
married Stephen NJ. Edgell of Lyndon
and together they made their home in
St. Louis, then a small city in the far
West. The life of this couple in that
city was for nearly half century a
record of good works and noble deeds.
Mr.. Edgell went to his reward but a
few years ago. Of the Chamberlin
family once so prominent and useful in
Lyndon, Myron, Ephraim c., Mary
Mrs. Brackett), Louisa MRS. EdgelD,
Emily (Mrs. Cooper), Caroline MRS.
Scales), the latter alone survives and
it was her comfort to be present at her
sisters final illness. Mrs. Edgell

A 100000 Story.

A 100000 Story.
Telegraphic dispatches to the Bos-
ton papers from Fall River, Mass,
state that William or James Ryder of
st. JOhnsbury, passenger on the Bris-
tol steamer Saturday night, left bun
die of securities, said to be valued at
$500, 900, in his berth Sunday morn
ing. The bundle was swept up with
the refuse and thrown into the garbage
barrel. Ryder telegraphed from Bos
ton in time to find the bundle before it
was dumped overheard, and it was
forwarded to him. The reporter, evil
IDENTIFY determined not to spoil good
story for want of a few details, adds
and New Mexico, where he had invest
ed largely in mining and land stock
and had in his possession these securi-
ties as result. He was unable to Sc
cure a state room and occupied berth
81, below deck, putting the securities
under his pillow and afterward forget
ting them, etc. Agent Ackley of the
steamboat line, to whom Ryder tele-
graphed, says that a certain James
Ryder telegraphed from Boston for a
bundle of old papers and they were
fshed from the swill barrel and dried
and sent to him. The idea that the
bundle contained valuable securities is
secuted at the company's Office where
it is regarded as "guy" upon the re-
porters. AS to James Ryder, he is
something of guy himself as he is
not known i'll st. Johnsbury, where
5000, 900 men are mighty scarce these

Dying of Starvation.


The letters that relatives and friends
in st. JOhnsbury are receiving from
Missionary Montgomery these days
are filed with heart rending accounts
of the terrible suffering in the famine
stricken districts of Turkey. The
story is thus summarized by the dalies !:
Famine from drouth is ravaging the
people of many a district of the old
world, while we are having such CO.
piOus rains in our small corner. Satur-
day the American board received at
Boston despatch from w. w. Peet,
treasurer of the famine relief fund at
COnstantinOple, saying that $4,000 peO-
pie at Adana have nothing to eat.
Number increasing. Other towns ask
help" Adana is a town of Asia Minor,
in the center of the Cilician plain, or
dinarily most fertile, but now quite
barren because of drouth. 1t is on the
river Sihun, not far from the site of
Tarsus, the birthplace of Paul. AL
ready in this country over $4,000 has
been contributed for the relief of the
starving in Turkey in Asia, and trans
mitted by the treasurer of the Ameri-
can board to the committee, which
distributes the funds without regard to
race or religion. Further contriba-
tons will be received by Langdon S.
Ward, L Somerset street, Boston.
Thanks to the telegraph, money given
here can in three days buy bread at
Adana.

The SalVatiOnists.

4
The hearing of the members of the
salvation army, who were arrested last
week Wednesday for disturbing the
peace, was not held on Monday as was
announced, the army asking for a con-
tinuance of the case until the 18th in =
slant. This was granted on condition
that the salvatiOnists do not parade
the. streets in the meantime with
drums, and that they do not stop in
the public streets of the village for
worship. They are permitted, how
ever, to hold services inside the park
in Railroad square. Harry Blodgett
appeared for the army and A. f. Mich
OILS for the state. Monday night the
army, somewhat curtailed as to mum
bers, marched up the avenue and a
short distance on Main street, after
ward to the park in Railroad square
where an out door service was held
There was no disturbance of any sort
the tambOrines that were used made nc
disagreeable noise, and no crowds
gathered. Meetings at the barracks
trouble and the audiences are orderly
1t is well to note that the salvationists
have been promised protection by the
authorities SO long as they adhere te
the conditions under which they are
permitted to parade and worship.

Important Decision.

Important Decision.
The case of Joseph Brown w.
II. Dubois, state treasurer, that at
tracted considerable attention last
year. has at last been decided adverse
ly to the plaintiff. Brown was a pri-
vate in company A, 10th Vermont VOL
unteers, and in 1864 was transferred mt
his own request to the navy. He
brought suit against the state for his
state pay of 81 month which stopped
when he left the army. Judge Walker
of the supreme court has filed his de-
cision disallowing the claim. Gov.
Ormsbee caused the suit to be defend
ed. In the course of the decision Jud ge
Walker says: "The petitioner, while
in the naval service as seaman, was
not entitled to the extra pay of 81 pei
month from the state unless his right
thereto is established by some statute
law. All the acts of the legislature
upon this subject restrict the extra pay
granted by the state to soldiers serving
as non commissioned officers, mu-
sicians and privates in the military SER
vice of the United States, in some Yer
mont regiments of infantry, cavalry
artillery or detached companies OF
Vermont troops in other regiments oil
the United States service, mustered in
an organized capacity by the authority
or with the consent of the governor OF
the state and such soldiers are emit
tied to receive such extra pay only fol
the term of their service in such state
organizations"

THE STORM ON THE AVENUE.
DR.. Bancroft Takes Possession of tn,
Howe Lot.


The difficulty over the location o.
the Howe block seems likely to fur.
nish an occasional item for the Local
papers for some time to come, and also
to furnish questions at law that will
occupy the courts for some time to
come as well. On Monday DR.. j. p.
Bancroft of Concord, N. H., by his
agent entered upon the lot for the pur-
pose of taking possession, under the
claim that the land was forfeited by
reason of breach of the condition of
the deed in locating portions of the
foundations within the 20-foot limit.
Mr.. Howe was also notified that DR..
Bancroft would take all legal steps in
his power to have the building remov-
ed If erected in the restricted space.
The long expected bill in chancery
was served yesterday on Mr.. Howe.
The bill, after setting forth the Origi-
nal agreement between the Fairbanks
es and Andrews and Bancroft to i'm :
pose these restrictions upon large
tracts of land then held by them in
Guiding the Howe lot and the Cowdery
lot, alleges that this agreement has
been strictly adhered to and enforced
by said Fairbankses that lands have
since been bought, sold and improved
by them in reliance upon these re-
strictions that Mr.. Howe bought with
full knowledge of all these facts, and
that Mrs. Fox and Timothy Carr who
join as orators in the case hold mort
cages upon the Cowdery place and
would be injured by the proposed
building. DR.. Bancroft also joins as
an orator. The bill prays that the
condition in the deed be declared bind
ing and asks for an injunction to re-
strain Mr.. Howe from erecting or
maintaining any structure within the
prohibited space, but, contrary to the
general expectation, does not ask for a
preliminary injunction the reason ev-
identity being that the orators prefer
to let Mr.. Howe take the risk of erect
ing building a portion of which the
court will compel him to tear down if
the bill prevails, as has been done in
several Massachusetts cases. The En-
glish of it is that Mr.. Howe is left to
decide for himself whether he will go
on as he has begun in view of the no
tees and the pending suit and in view
of the fact that if he is defeated he
will have to remove and deface his
building; while the orators assume no
risk except the usual bill of costs.

Another New Paper.

Il
That a new paper is to be establish
ed in this county seems to be assured.
Our Lyndonville correspondent stated
last week that an effort was being
made to start a paper at Lyndonville
to be called the LyndOnville News. B.
w. Farr, job printer of that place, is
moving in the matter. An agent is
out canvassing for subscriptions and is
meeting with good success. 1t is pro-
posed to make % column paper of it
and it will be independent in politics.
Whether a long-felt want for another
paper in this county exists or not we
do not know, but LyndOnville is a
busy place and we wish Mr.. Farr sue
cess in his new enterprise. He will
not have syndicate of the moneyed
men of the county TO give him a start.
but if he keeps sharp lookout over
the local field he will be supported and
at the same time will be relieved from
the annoyance of being obliged to
please 80 or 40 men of varying opin-
ions and tastes.
